FINANCING FOR RESEARCH AND INNOVATION AT REGIONAL LEVEL

Both Horizon 2020 and Cohesion Policy promote research and innovation (R&I) in the EU boosting the economic development. Horizon 2020 promotes R&I through the European Research Area, with projects selected in open competitions and following an independent evaluation process. The European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF), on the other hand, reduces the significant economic, social and territorial disparities that still exist between European regions. Cohesion Policy programmes for the 2014-20 period aim to further increase investment in R&I. The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) will focus on most R&I funding, giving emphasis on four priorities:

• Innovation and research

• Digital agenda

• Support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

• Low-carbon economy

The future ERDF support on investment in innovation and research depends directly on the development of innovation and research strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) by Member States and European regions. A Commission, through the Smart Specialisation Platform

Italy: regional policy, provides support to Member States and regions on RIS3.
